Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 166 How can I change my vision back?
In the pitch-black forest, Uta Kasyapa frowned and carefully walked through with a flashlight, while little Fue, hanging around his neck, was full of excitement.

"Why does it have to be tonight? Wouldn't it be better to choose another time?"

"Tonight is a memory just for you and me, and I'm not giving it to anyone else, especially Fu Jiang, hmph!"

Listening to Xiao Fujiang's possessive words, Uta Kasyapa smiled helplessly, looked up at the darkness in front of him, and began to hold his breath.

Can you feel it?

"Yes, but it's still the same as at the beginning, just a blurry shadow."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fujiang rubbed her chin.

"How many are there? What is the smallest one?"

"There are many of them. The smallest ones are probably these spots on the ground, about the size of a sesame seed. They are probably insects."

Xiao Fujiang agreed with this assessment.

"So, basically, the area of ​​the shadow you perceive, Kasyapa, is roughly the size of the creature. By the way, can you perceive me?"

Uta Kassapa nodded. Of course, he could sense it; not only could he sense it, but it was also very obvious.

If the life force emanating from the birds in the treetops is like the light shone from a flashlight, then in Uta Kasyapa's perception at this moment, Xiao Fujiang is not much different from a solar flare.

Bright and dazzling, without needing to pay attention, Xiao Fujiang's life light will naturally reveal its presence.

"Try it and see if you can make these lights and shadows have more distinct shapes in your perception."

Xiao Fujiang's suggestion was exactly what Utakayo thought, since seeing only a blurry light and shadow was not very meaningful in a certain sense.

Only when one can accurately identify the species and various information represented by these lights and shadows can they be considered to have practical value.

As it stands, this information can only be considered as a reference, but it cannot be used as the primary basis for decision-making.

Utakasyapa continued deeper into the mountains and forests, and the more he ventured there, the more gray-white light and shadows representing life appeared around him.

Before Utakayo entered and came closer, many lights and shadows were still jumping around. As he arrived, all these lights looked over warily.

Looking above the surrounding light and shadow, there are tiny points of light that represent eyes.

"It's a wonderful field of vision, as if I have two visual systems."

"Well"

Xiao Fujiang pondered for a moment upon hearing this. Having two senses was not a good thing, as the human brain can only process a limited amount of information.

While the two visual systems sound impressive, they might not be so helpful for Kasyapa in practical applications or combat situations.

The human brain has to process so much information that even the slightest error can lead to a huge mistake. The added mental burden of having a visual system is not insignificant.

"Can they be integrated together?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's about merging the life-gathering points you perceive with your original field of vision, so you don't have to process two different information-gathering modules at the same time."

Uta Kasyapa frowned upon hearing this and said with a hint of helplessness.

"I'd like to, but the visual system isn't something you can just adjust. Holy crap??"

"?"

While Xiao Fujiang waited curiously, Uta Kasyapa said in disbelief.

"It actually works! I can do it now!"

"What now?"

Uta Kassapa took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then explained his current visual system to Fukie.

In short, after Xiao Fue's suggestion, Uta Kasyapa began to try to merge the two visual systems, thinking it would be meaningless.

Unexpectedly, not long after this thought popped into his mind, as his vision blurred, Uta Kasyapa not only gained the ability to see the points of light directly, but also gained night vision.

Night vision capability?

"Hmm, similar, but actually, I feel it's more like it's exposing the outlines of these lifeless objects." "Hmm?"

Amidst Xiao Fujiang's question, Uta Kasyapa pondered for a moment before snapping off the flashlight in his hand.

He looked up at the stone shadow that had a clear outline in his gray-white vision, which was like night vision goggles.

In his view, even the roadside weeds have their own vitality.

The difference is that, compared to the life light of living organisms, the light of plants appears much dimmer.

At the same time, his current field of vision is far less clear than that of night vision goggles, but conversely, night vision goggles are also unable to find the little rabbit hiding behind the rock.

Is that a little rabbit?

Looking at the shadow with two long, grayish-white spots of light, Uta Kassapa was somewhat uncertain, after all, there were still many creatures with long ears.

"My field of vision is a little worse than that of night vision goggles, but it has penetrating properties, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

"How far away can you see a patch of life's light?"

Uta Kasyapa made a judgment.

"I can't judge, I can only be sure that I can see as far as my field of vision can reach."

"That's not bad."

Xiao Fujiang nodded in satisfaction upon receiving this answer.

As expected, they are going in two different directions. Their own and Fujang's evolution seems to be aimed at solving the primary goal of 'continuing' life.

Kasyapa's evolution seems more like a solution to the prerequisite of 'survival' for life.

Furthermore, his own and Fujang's evolution required the right opportunity, while Kasyapa's evolution seemed to require only an idea.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

"Keep going further in. Since you can control the fusion of your vision, try to see if you can make your vision clearer or make other changes."

Uta Kasyapa nodded and led Xiao Fue through the dark forest.

Passing by the stream, the water swayed like a black ribbon, while the little fish hiding among the rocks and crevices shone as brightly as starlight.

The joy brought by the evolution of his abilities made Uta Kasyapa run wildly through the forest. However, after only a few steps, with a loud thud, Uta Kasyapa crashed heavily into a tree trunk.

The sudden impact made Uta Kasyapa tense.

"Xiao Fujiang, are you alright?!"

"I'm fine, I just feel a little nauseous."

"."

Hearing Xiao Fujiang's distressed voice, Uta Kasaya quickly took her out of the modified headphones.

I've heard of motion sickness, horse sickness, and seasickness, but this is the first time I've heard of it causing motion sickness in people.
After a while, once Xiao Fujiang had recovered somewhat from the severe dizziness, the two began their return to the camp.

On the way back, Uta Kasyapa caught a turtledove for himself as an extra meal.

The cleaned doves released an enticing aroma as they roasted over the flames, while Xiao Fue sat lazily in Uta Kasyapa's hands, yawning.

Once the dove was cooked, Uta Kassapa handed the two golden, crispy thighs of the dove to Fukie. And it had to be said, the proportions were just right.

Just as Xiao Fujiang was happily enjoying the pigeon leg, she glanced up unintentionally and noticed Uta Kasyapa's tightly furrowed brows.

"what happened?"

Uta Kassapa rubbed his eyes and blinked hard. After a while, he said with great discomfort.

"Now there's a problem."

"?"

How can I restore my vision?
